in thread Unparent tangents?

I can't think of a sensible argument for doing any of this. Users can either just ignore things, make a note to return to the post later if desired (thus maintaining focus), or start a new thread (provided it actually meets the criteria for being posted on the site).

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    There are 3 different use cases:

    Indicating ...

    • an (update)
      Reason: courtesy, fairness (b/c there is no history feature here)
    • a sub thread which is a specialization and not a thread drift like here Re^4: Ternary Quizical behaviour? (Ref vs Alias) ,
      Reason: sensible description in the title
    • a complete thread drift kind of Sundial-101 again (was: MongoDB) °
      Reason: Total drift, but new title spares us from considering/messaging the cabals

    > sensible argument for doing any of this

    Overall reason:

    • we keep re-linking valuable nodes and the title appears automatically, Ref vs Alias is a far better title
    • we have node overviews, like best nodes etc.
    • inheriting (update) makes no sense at all
